Great things come in small packages! The Lancaster HS science team named every barrier, then solved them together. Ms. Cezar won Wipebooks at our GEAR UP session and had students sharing ideas on day one. How are you increasing rigor? #ChangeTheStory #EveryoneIsASciencePerson

So excited to be back with the Dinwiddie Middle School science team! They committed to building a science community, and it's paying off. One teacher: students used discourse strategies from week one and "know this is the norm now." Small moves, big impact. #EveryoneIsASciencePerson

Skip spent yesterday in Loudoun County talking Math Workshop and student‑centered learning. That's when he realized Math Workshop is basically Buc‑ee’s. Intentional design. Choice. Energy. Purpose. Independence. Great classrooms and great road‑trip stops have a lot in common!
